## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a senior, hands-on Solution Architect role focused on Databricks, sitting within a data infrastructure and analytics practice that serves complex enterprise clients. You will own end-to-end Databricks implementations and translate deep platform expertise into scalable, production-ready data lakehouse solutions that directly drive client outcomes.

##### What You'll Do

- Lead and deliver Databricks implementation projects at enterprise scale, from architecture design through production deployment.

- Apply strong hands-on expertise in Apache Spark and distributed computing, including Spark runtime internals, to solve complex data engineering challenges.

- Design and optimize large-scale data platforms for performance, scalability, and reliability across major cloud environments.

- Establish and apply CI/CD pipeline best practices for production data platform deployments.

- Integrate MLOps patterns into data platform solutions where appropriate.

- Advise clients on Databricks Lakehouse Platform capabilities, best practices, and roadmap alignment.

##### What We're Looking For

- 10+ years of consulting experience, including 7+ years focused on Data Engineering, Data Platforms, and Analytics.

- Hands-on delivery of 6 to 8 or more Databricks implementation projects in a Solution Architect capacity.

- Established Databricks Architect or Databricks Solution Architect background, not adjacent data engineering experience alone.

- Strong expertise in Apache Spark and distributed computing, including internals.

- Databricks Data Engineering Professional Certification (required or strongly preferred).

- Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP; multi-cloud experience is a plus.

- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines for production deployments.

- Working knowledge of MLOps practices.

- Experience with performance tuning, optimization, and scalability of large-scale data platforms.

- Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship (W2 contract).

##### Compensation & Benefits

Up to **$80/hr on W2**. No visa sponsorship available.

##### Location

Fully remote, open to candidates based anywhere in North America.
